Pianist Ricardo Tanturi formed his first sextet (Los Indios) in 1933. A fine dance orchestra, it's greatest successes were linked with its best know singers, Alberto Castillo and Enrique Campos.

El Tango es el TangoAlberto Castillo sang with Tanturi from 1939 until he left to pursue his film career in 1944. A qualified gynaecologist, he gave up medicine to sing Tango, and became one of the most popular characters in Buenos Aires, with his emphatic vocal style and large personality. Castillo (20).

Una EmociónWhen Castillo left Tanturi, some people predicted the end of his success. Tanturi's new star vocalist was Enrique Campos. (It is said that he got the job because he was the only one not to try to impersonate Castillo at the audition). Campos had already had success as a Tango singer in his native Uruguay, and spent five great years with Tanturi. Tanturi's rhythms become more flexible through this period, making it interesting dance music. Campos (20).
